Point-of-Care Ultrasound is an Accurate, Time-saving, and Cost-effective Modality for Post-operative Imaging After Pyeloplasty

Dismembered pyeloplasty is considered the gold standard treatment for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Although the frequency and timing of follow up imaging after pyeloplasty is variable, renal ultrasound (RUS) is commonly utilized. With minimal training, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can be easily performed by a urologist during a post-operative visit.
